abstract = {The blue part of the light spectrum has been associated
with leaf characteristics which also develop under high
irradiances. In this study blue light dose-response curves
were made for the photosynthetic properties and related
developmental characteristics of cucumber leaves that were
grown at an equal irradiance under seven different
combinations of red and blue light provided by
light-emitting diodes. Only the leaves developed under red
light alone $(0\%$ blue) displayed dysfunctional
photosynthetic operation, characterized by a suboptimal and
heterogeneously distributed dark-adapted F(v)/F(m), a
stomatal conductance unresponsive to irradiance, and a
relatively low light-limited quantum yield for CO(2)
fixation. Only $7\%$ blue light was sufficient to prevent
any overt dysfunctional photosynthesis, which can be
considered a qualitatively blue light effect. The
photosynthetic capacity (A(max)) was twice as high for
leaves grown at $7\%$ blue compared with $0\%$ blue, and
continued to increase with increasing blue percentage during
growth measured up to $50\%$ blue. At $100\%$ blue, A(max)
was lower but photosynthetic functioning was normal. The
increase in A(max) with blue percentage $(0-50\%)$ was
associated with an increase in leaf mass per unit leaf area
(LMA), nitrogen (N) content per area, chlorophyll (Chl)
content per area, and stomatal conductance. Above $15\%$
blue, the parameters A(max), LMA, Chl content,
photosynthetic N use efficiency, and the Chl:N ratio had a
comparable relationship as reported for leaf responses to
irradiance intensity. It is concluded that blue light during
growth is qualitatively required for normal photosynthetic
functioning and quantitatively mediates leaf responses
resembling those to irradiance intensity.},
